John Albers and Chip Rogers held a joint town hall meeting at Alpharetta City Hall, drawing residents from Woodstock, Roswell, Milton and Alpharetta.
State Sens. John Albers, R-Roswell, and Chip Rogers, R-Woodstock, heard from residents on education, sales tax, TSPLOST and other issues at a joint town hall meeting at Alpharetta City Hall on Saturday, Jan. 28.
